OPERATION

OPERATION

Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight. Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact solid objects.

Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-L- 0028

7.1 Driving the Tractor and Loader

Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and loader. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating, stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control.

Perform turns with the tractor and loader at slow speeds to determine how the tractor with an attached implements handles a turn. Determine the safe speed to maintain proper control of the tractor when making turns. When turning with an implement, the overall working length of the unit is increased. Allow additional clearance for the loader when turning.

To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at safe speeds, especially when operating over rough ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and turning corners. Tractor rear wheel spacing should be increased when operating on inclines or rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.

Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill. DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill. OPS-L-0030

8. Operating the Tractor and Loader

Do not attempt to lift loads in excess of loader capacity.

Operating loader on a hillside is dangerous. Extreme care is recommended. Keep bucket as low as possible.

Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury or death.
